Nix took the field for the first time. His action was limited, though.

Arian Foster, Andre Johnson, Brian Cushing, Johnathan Joseph, Brandon Brooks and Shiloh Keo were among those who didn’t practice. Foster continued to put in hard work on the side field.

Ryan Fitzpatrick looked like his last week practice-self, throwing sharp sideline passes and excelling in the red zone.

Fitzpatrick also bungled a snap, leading to the veteran quarterback and Alex Kupper running a lap. As soon as the ball hit the grass, Fitzpatrick began trotting toward the sideline for his jog around the field.

Rookie Jay Prosch returned, throwing blocks with an oversized white cast on his left hand. Being a rookie, Prosch was reluctant to speak with the media. He then answered a few questions while a pack of reporters and TV cameras trailed him.

Undrafted rookies Julius Warmsley and James Ferentz were involved in a brief altercation. They were then instructed to run a lap.

“It wasn’t the right way to show it,” said an apologetic Warmsley. “I disrespected the team and the NFL.”
